[QUOTE="russ010, post: 43992, member: 677"] I sanded it down with 80 grit sandpaper on my mouse sander. I'm trying my best to conserve money where I can - so I used what I had laying around the house. You don't have to go out and buy what someone else uses because it works, try to improvise... I didn't care if it left some paint on, I really wanted to hit the rusted areas and the parts that were chipping. I just went to Home Depot and got the Rustoleum Rusty Surface Primer and Gloss Smoke Gray - both are for Metal surfaces. I have used these for trailers in the past and hold up well... I've noticed on different trailers I've painted, the more coats of primer I put on, the better the top coat looks.. I brushed the whole thing. I finished painting it 4 hours ago and just checked it.. it's still tacky, so thats a good sign that the first coat of top coat is on thick! [/QUOTE]
